This change fixes bugs in the manpage generator that existed since it
was first added.
It exposes CLI `ARGUMENTS` value to manpage templates.
Before this change, the code contained a typo, causing the `for`-loop
iterate over individual characters of the `'ARGUMENTS'` string rather
than iterating over a tuple. A missing comma was at fault.
The updated code gets rid of the `for`-loop and conditionals since it
seems to have been a premature complexity increase and no other things
than `'ARGUMENTS'` were ever added into the broken iterable.
The functional change is that `arguments` is now always present in the
Jinja2 context, unlike being missing sometimes because of the previous
design (not that it was ever present, because of the bug! sigh...)
The Jinja2 templates perform an `{% if arguments %}` check, letting
the template engine silently ignore the missing variable. The clause
was always falsy, meaning that the arguments section was not included
in the manpages for at least the last 6 years. With this fix, it will
be.
This patch also deduplicates calling `opt_doc_list` @ generate_man.
It was called late in the execution, more times than necessary. This
patch makes sure it happens once by putting it at the top of the scope.
It fixes rendering library and inventory in manpages.
The corresponding Jinja2 templates have blocks wrapped with
conditionals like `{% if inventory %}` and `{% if library %}` but said
variables were never injected into the context, nor were they even
deduced on the Python side of the generator. This means that the
conditional clauses were always falsy, never showing the portions of
the manpages.
The Python script has hints for how the `inventory` variable was to be
calculated, which is confirmed through the Git paleontology efforts.
The block of code that references to the `inventory` bit was
incorrectly checking a variable with a list of nested objects for the
presence of a string which was never going to work.
This patch fixes this check by verifying the CLI flag against the
correct variable containing a list of options and exposes it to the
Jinja2 templates.
It also exposes the `library` variable in a similar way.
The block displaying other binaries in Sphinx CLI docs has been
synchronized with the manpage template.
Previously, the current binary was displayed also. This patch gets rid
of the unwanted trailing comma there too.
Finally, the CLI executables list in the manpage template now reuses
the same variable as the RST template that doesn't need any
post-processing in Jinja2.
Before, it was already used in the RST template so this patch aligns
both templates to use the same logic as they got out-of-sync over time.

* fix empty str default for config/base.yml config options by rendering '' instead of ``''``
Co-authored-by: Brian Coca <bcoca@users.noreply.github.com>
* Due to the takeover of freenode we're moving to a different irc network.
* Our channels updated to point at the same channel name on libera.chat
* Some links went to webchat.freenode.net. At this time, libera.chat
doesn't point you to an official webchat client so I changed these to
https://libera.chat. (kiwi irc does work with libera.chat so that
could be another option).
* In general, I used the name irc.libera.net for link names and
https://libera.chat for link targets. This is because the irc service
is hosted on irc.libera.chat but the project web server is hosted on
libera.chat. (This appears to also be true for freenode but we were
using http://irc.freenode.net which doesn't seem to work. Oops).
* Removed http://irc.freenode.net from the linkcheck exceptions.
linkcheck was actually correct to flag that as invalid (should have
been http://frenode.net instead).
* Looks like hte important people in #yaml are now in libera.chat
* Link to where contributors should get help
Add a link target and then link to where contributors should get support
for developing groups of modules.
* Update docs/docsite/rst/dev_guide/developing_modules_in_groups.rst

Builds plugin docs from collections whose source is on galaxy
The new command downloads collections from galaxy, then finds the
plugins inside of them to get the documentation for those plugins.
* Update the python syntax checks
* docs builds can now require python 3.6+.
* Move plugin formatter code out to an external tool, antsibull-docs.
Collection owners want to be able to extract docs for their own
websites as well.
* The jinja2 filters, tests, and other support code have moved to antsibull
* Remove document_plugins as that has now been integrated into antsibull-docs
* Cleanup and bugfix to other build script code:
* The Commands class needed to have its metaclass set for abstractmethod
to work correctly
* Fix lint issues in some command plugins
* Add the docs/docsite/rst/collections to .gitignore as
everything in that directory will be generated so we don't want any of
it saved in the git repository
* gitignore the build dir and remove edit docs link on module pages
* Add docs/rst/collections as a directory to remove on make clean
* Split the collections docs from the main docs
* remove version and edit on github
* remove version banner for just collections
* clarify examples need collection keyword defined
* Remove references to plugin documentation locations that no longer exist.
* Perhaps the pages in plugins/*.rst should be deprecated
altogether and their content moved?
* If not, perhaps we want to rephrase and link into the collection
documentation?
* Or perhaps we want to link to the plugins which are present in
collections/ansible/builtin?
* Remove PYTHONPATH from the build-ansible calls
One of the design goals of the build-ansible.py script was for it to
automatically set its library path to include the checkout of ansible
and the library of code to implement itself. Because it automatically
includes the checkout of ansible, we don't need to set PYTHONPATH in
the Makefile any longer.
* Create a command to only build ansible-base plugin docs
* When building docs for devel, only build the ansible-base docs for
now. This is because antsibull needs support for building a "devel
tree" of docs. This can be changed once that is implemented
* When building docs for the sanity tests, only build the ansible-base
plugin docs for now. Those are the docs which are in this repo so
that seems appropriate for now.
* starting metadata sunset
- purged metadata from any requirements
- fix indent in generic handler for yaml content (whey metadata display was off)
- make more resilient against bad formed docs
- removed all metadata from docs template
- remove metadata from schemas
- removed mdata tests and from unrelated tests

We have some common code used by several docs scripts. Migrate that
into the build-only shared code repository.
* Move lib/ansible/utils/_build_helpers.py to the directory for common
build code
* Migrate docs/bin/dump_config.py to a build-ansible subcommand
* Migrate dump_keywords to the build-ansible framework
* Make the script more maintainable by using functions and good
variable names
* Port to Python3 idioms
* Fix bug so that private attributes will be undocumented
* Move generate_man to a build-ansible subcommand
* Port plugin_formatter to a build-ansible subcommand
* Rework command_plugins so that docs scripts can target Python-3.4+ and
releng-only subcommands can use more recent versions of Python.
The architecture is now that command_plugins/* need to be importable
on Python-3.4. The init_parsers() method needs to run on Python-3.4.
But the main() method can utilize features of more recent Python as
long as it fits within those parameters.

* Add Red Hat support section, list module status
* Docs: Add a separate "seealso" section to the module docs
to list related modules and/or related references. This clears up the notes
section for things that are actual notes.
So you can add a section in your module documentation and four types of
references are possible.
seealso:
# Reference by module name
- module: aci_tenant
# Reference by module name, including description
- module: aci_tenant
description: ACI module to create tenants on a Cisco ACI fabric.
# Reference by rST documentation anchor
- ref: aci_guide
description: Detailed information on how to manage your ACI infrastructure using Ansible.
# Reference by Internet resource
- name: APIC Management Information Model reference
description: Complete reference of the APIC object model.
link: https://developer.cisco.com/docs/apic-mim-ref/
This PR also includes:
- Implements ansible-doc support
- Implements schema support for the seealso options
- Updates to the development documentation
- Rename filter convert_symbols_to_format to rst_ify, cfr the existing html_ify and tty_ify filters
- This makes the existing template a lot easier to read and fixes the confusion I had myself rereading the template (again).
- We fixed the possible suboption types (which was limited to 'bool' only)
* Use latest stable instead of devel docs
Only print warning when ansible.cfg is actually skipped
* Also add unittests for the find_ini_config_file function
* Add documentation on world writable current working directory
config files can no longer be loaded from a world writable current
working directory but the end user is allowed to specify that
explicitly. Give appropriate warnings and information on how.
